This is my question. Link?

These types of games don't have that much effect on the hardware numbers. I expect big numbers software wise though.

@shadowblind

its all over the internet

UK GFK sales

@zucas

yeah but xbox 360 is just rising in momentum while wii is slowing

thats never happened ever in a generation before

Is this this weeks "Wii is doomed" thread? or did I missed another one?

Darth, WTF are you talking about? According to the recent week's sales, WW, Wii is outselling the 360 over 2:1, and the PS3 nearly 2.5:1

As for WSR in Japan, remember the size of the market there. By Famitsu sales, if the Wii holds at the 20k+ range, that's pretty decent, anything in the teens or below is bad, like how the PS3 and 360 are performing there (10k and 6k)

Also, how is feb to jun a yoy?

What could it do?

Its not bringing in "new" people

@NiKKoM

Well its not doomed......"bursting a bubble" doesn't mean doomed, no point in trying to stir things up

this thread is assessing a growing trend

darth- point? Is it rising enough to overtake the supposed Wii and DS falls. I don't think so... damnit 360 which can't you sell ungodly amounts to make up the losses. What not good enough?

That's my point. The problem with the "leaders" falling is generally there isn't a second place to replace the sales and 360 can't do it obviously. What we are left with is a market that is significantly down comparatively. I understand 2007 and 2008 were huge peak years but they shouldn't be coming down this much. I guess the economy has something to do with it as well though.

Where have I mentioned WW in my OP

nowhere

I said Japan (where wii does not hold at 20K a week, it wasn't at 20K for many weeks in fact), then UK.....

Feb to Jun YOY......means YOY change in that time period of feb - jun

in UK wii is down 69% YOY

Yeah play that down as much as you want, but its quite BIG

Read this

overall in UK the market is down by 300K consoles in the biggest recession the UK has ever seen

thanks to xbox 360 the market isn't down by much, as wii is DOWN YOY by 600K (63%)

Xbox 360 is up by 300K

Ps3 is steady

your correct, it shows the console market declining......but is it a decline considering we ARE in a recession

@kowenicki

I dunno either.......quite simply

UK seems to be kind of following japan in terms of the wii

where sales are down YOY massively....hence the term "is the bubble bursting"

But darth.. don't you remember which games came out back then last year?
